I bought this CAMCO knife on eBay a while back snd set out to cleani it up. I have no power tools, just elbow grease.
I used:
Amway Metal Cleaner
Super Knife Eraser
1500 grit sandpaper
Flitz Metal Polish
Chamois
Quick Release Oil
Elbow grease maximus!

Scott,
It is hard to tell 100% in a pic, but I think it looks like nice waterfall celluloid.
Pretty nice example too I would say.
When you move it in the light does it shimmer and appear to be moving sort of like water?

I'll go with cracked ice, waterfall was normally used on higher end knives
